You have me confused, as I always thought that measuring cups measure in
*FLUID* ounces and not in avoirdupois ounces. Fluid ounces and avoirdupois
ounces are not the same.
I have never weighed a cup of water so I have no idea how much it would
weigh in avoirdupois ounces. ( could someone that has a scale weigh a cup of
water? )
However once you get your scale, you could always weigh a cup of water and
see how many grams or ounces it is so you would not have to change the scale
back and forth.
